The problem with big map transfers
As far as I know, the way the system works for transfering maps between the host and it's clients is simple:
- The host uploads the map to a number of clients until they've successfully downloaded that map.
But if you have a really big map, say 1.5-3.0 megs, and 4 clients, that equals to as much as 12MB of data the host needs to send altogether.
Maybe a possible solution would be to create some sort of a simple p2p system for the map transfers?
For example, the host starts sending the map to the first client. As the client…

Have the "quit the game" option quit WA.
Have the "quit the game" option in online matches quit WA. This could discourage ppl from quitting games, unless they really do have to go, in wich case they'd need to quit WA anyway. Also, for the host, there should stay an option to just quit that game, and not WA, since the host may have valid reasons to quit a game, like ie: ppl dropping, desyncing, quitting, having loaded a wrong scheme, or generally all players decide to start a new match.
7 votesWe are thinking about adding a reputation system in W:A 4.0’s WormNET. I’ve written a few ideas here: http://worms2d.info/4/Reputation

Add democratic player kicking for online games
Like in starcraft where a majority of people have to vote to boot a lagger, if all players type "/kick username" (or the player's #, like with wormkit's kicking feature) into the chatbox then that player is dropped. It would be harder to abuse this than when only the host has the kicking authority. This way even one person could refuse to kick, which would prevent the kicking of someone who doesn't really deserve it (ie: they're slightly noobish).

Enhance team-play
Team members should be able to let Spectators participate in team-chat while in a game. Could a chat command do this? So it can be toggled in-game.
Also, a player should be able to let Spectators see their current weapons panel when it's their turn.7 votes -
Add more Spectator slots for hosted games
Extra slots should be configurable by the host. This would allow more than (7 - # of Teams) people to be in a game that, for some reason, many people would like to spectate it live (either to look or chat). Examples: popular tournament finals, clan matches with lots of members present from the duelling clans, playoff matches for leagues, matches between clan members with many members online, etc.
32 votesIt would be much easier to do this outside W:A, kind-of-like a retranslation bot. That would resolve all the UI design and protocol issues. Would that work as a compromise?

Add map caching
Downloading the same large map file(more than 500k or maybe 1mb)again and again its preety anoying....how about a map recognising metod??,so you dont have to download the same map twice (maybe comparing the dimensions and the size of the local maps with the host map,so it doesnt matter the name of the file)

Re-add ranks and secure logins to WormNET
Ranks and secure logins should be made to work again, but anonymous logins should be preserved.
107 votesRanks and secure logins are part of 4.0’s WormNET design. However, I don’t see strong reasons (and lots of counter-reasons) to keep anonymous logins in 4.0. Also, how the ranks, experience etc. are calculated remains an open and very complicated question.
